Olympic Hopeful of the Day: Diving phenom Jordan Pisey Windle, at just 13, is the youngest ever to qualify for the U.S. Olympic diving trials, which will be held in Seattle later this month.
But Jordan’s also a young standout in the LGBT community. Adopted from Cambodia as a baby and raised by two gay dads, he recently released his own “It Gets Better” spot, and he will serve as the grand marshal for Central Indian’s upcoming Pride Parade.
Despite his increasing notoriety, Jordan isn’t too preoccupied with his upbringing: “I’ve never actually thought about it,” he says.
And the youngster’s sights are set on Rio de Janeiro if he doesn’t make London.
“This is a good setup for 2016,” says mentor Greg Louganis, a four-time Olympic gold medalist. “This is a time to learn. It’s a learning process and a journey.”

As a Christian I know it’s not my right to judge anyone, but OMG some people are so stupid, ignorant, and/or cocky. Lord, have mercy.
Hallways lonelier than before
In the morning, the hallways felt lonelier because I didn’t have Neo to bother at his locker. Sharath wasn’t there to give me a high five. Ruben not there to walk me to class. No Mr. Dreamy to stare and sigh at. No Jamie to talk about Doctor Who. An incomplete physics table where there was no Danielle to yell at me and Jovanne to write at my folder and laugh at my weirdness. And these are only some of the seniors that I’ll miss. It sucks to be a junior. A good half of my friends graduated. But what reassured me was when a classmate of mine said, “they have to leave or else they’ll be those creepers than hang around after high school.” That’s true. When I saw them at graduation, it felt like closure. My mood instantly went up and I’ve never initiated so many hugs in my whole life. Mark finally hugged me too! With them graduating, that also means we upgrade a level. #seniors2013!
Hopefully by next year.
A word to the wise.
Legos or Lincoln Logs
Should I stay at Hoffman Estates High School or move to Streamwood High School? Streamwood is like Legos; interesting, fun, and much room for creativity. If I move their I’ll have a much better social life where I can truly belong somewhere with my ace boom kum. Ill have a guaranteed friend system and will have a kickass homecoming week. Hoffman is like Lincoln Logs; very systematic but consistent to promise a final product. I’ll be involved in clubs and sports, Streamwood lacks of, and will look presentable to colleges and the Navy.
Should my senior year be fun or studious?

Good Day.
Played against Boy’s Lacrosse today. We traded sticks and they lost 3-1. I scored one too! Haha. At the end, their coaches made them do one-handed push ups and chant,
“Girls Lacrosse is our hero”
So adorbs.
Their coach is really chubby haha. Like a chubby bunny.
No more lacrosse
No more praise night
What is a social life?
